Chapter 8 Acting skills are too bad, go home and practice again

The time from Trisham to Watson was longer than Founder thought. By the time he was woken up from the cabin by the boatman and stepped onto Watson's docks, it was already five hours later.

That's a waste of five hours?

Looking at the distant figure of the boatman, Fang Zheng frowned. He didn't expect Watson to be so far away from Trisham, and it was a one-way ticket——— but the boatman told himself that he was only responsible for delivering, not picking. Originally, Fang Zheng was still a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood, isn't there a teleportation array under the Watson Chapel, isn't that thing much faster than ship to ship?

Forget it, let's go find the shards first.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng walked towards Watson Town.

At this time, Watson Town had not yet been attacked by cultists as in the game, and the people were still living a peaceful life. From time to time, you can see fishing boats coming and going and children playing in the countryside on the edge of the field, and seeing this scene, Fang Zheng can't help but feel a little melancholy. He could imagine that once the cultists attacked this place, there would be little to spare.

But unfortunately, now that the mud bodhisattva crossed the river, he only hoped that he could take the fragment as quickly as possible, so that perhaps the cultists would have no reason to take action against Watson, so as to divert their attention from this peaceful small village.

Fang Zheng, an outsider, didn't attract much attention in the town, perhaps because most people were busy with work at the moment, and the whole town seemed calm and serene. However, Fang Zheng didn't intend to cause any trouble, he quickly found the church in the town, and then knocked on the door. Soon, a man dressed as a priest walked out of the church and looked at Fang Zheng curiously.

"Hello, stranger, may I ask you for something about coming to Watson?"

"Hello, Pastor."

Looking at the priest in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded, and then took out Captain Ramford's letter from his bosom and handed it over.

"I'm a militiaman from Trissym, and a meteorite fell there before, and I've heard that some of its fragments fell on Watson, so I wanted to see if there were any clues."

"Meteorite?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the priest was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in a sudden understanding.

"I know what you're talking about, but it just so happens that we've found something very strange, please come with me........."

As he spoke, the priest turned his body sideways and motioned for Fang Zheng to enter. Hearing the pastor's words, Fang Zheng glanced at him meaningfully, and then walked into the church.

The whole church was dark, and only the light of the stars lit by candles could barely see clearly.

"What is it?"

Fang Zheng walked towards the interior of the church and asked casually. And at this moment, behind him came the sound of the church door "creaking" shut. Then the priest's voice rang out again.

"Oh, it was caught by our fisherman when he was fishing, it exudes a very strange power from time to time, the fisherman doesn't know what it is, so he sent it to the church, I originally wanted to keep it, but I didn't expect it to be related to that meteorite........."

The pastor said as he stared at the square back in front of him. Then he reached out and silently pulled a dagger out of his bosom. And Fang Zheng didn't seem to be aware of this, he just turned his head curiously to look around, and asked casually.

"So, what about the shard?"

"Just ahead........."

As he spoke, the priest secretly quickened his pace, he quietly walked behind Fang Zheng, clenched the dagger in his hand, and stabbed at Fang Zheng hard!

And at the same time, a cold light suddenly flashed!

"Poof!"

"How......... Can ........."

The priest's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the cold blade that had slashed into his body, and the frost of Frost's sorrow spread in all directions, even making him feel a trace of fear that even his soul was about to be frozen.

"How are you......... Discover ........."

"The acting skills are too bad, go home and practice again."

Looking at the stunned priest in front of him, Fang Zheng sneered. In fact, when meeting with the pastor, Fang Zheng sensed that something was not quite right with the pastor. He looked at his eyes full of worry at first, and when he heard what he meant, he showed a clear expression of anxiety, and what made Fang Zheng most suspicious was that the priest did not examine Captain Ramford's letter too closely, he even opened it and glanced at it hastily, and immediately let himself enter the church.

Fang Zheng has always been very good at reading words and feelings, which helps him to obtain information, and now he is using this to judge that the situation is not right.

What made Fang Zheng even more certain was that after entering the church, the priest actually walked behind him, not in front. Generally speaking, since he was the one who hid the fragment, then he must be responsible for leading the way, but he fell behind him by closing the door, and it would be hellish if there was no problem!

On top of that, Fang Zheng could clearly hear his breathing become heavy for a moment as the priest made his move, which was an instinctive human reaction, indicating that he was either excited or nervous. Therefore, Fang Zheng did not hesitate to summon the Frost Sorrow and slashed directly behind him.

Facts have also proved that Founder's judgment is correct.

This priest is also a cultist!

With a scream, the cultist's soul was forcibly pulled out of his body, and then inhaled into Frost's sorrow. At the same time, in front of Fang Zheng, a line of information resurfaced.

【Soul Power +45】

Sure enough, the souls of the living are stronger than those of the living dead.

Looking at the system prompt that appeared in front of him, Fang Zheng pursed his lips. Then he put away Frost's Sorrow and began to search for the fragment of the Holy Sword. Since this priest is a cultist, it is very likely that Magda has already learned about the fragment of the Holy Sword, and if you think about it carefully, maybe the other party was deliberately delaying time at that time, so she took Nephiten in a circle! It is very likely that in the game, before Nephilim reached Watson, the fragment of the Holy Sword was taken by Magda!

The more Fang Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, otherwise why did Nephilem meet Magda's phantom when he went to the cellar in the game? And it's so good that he looks like he's waiting for him there? Isn't this a trap?

"Sure enough, it's not here."

A quick inspection of the church revealed nothing. However, this did not worry him, but made Fang Zheng firm his judgment, that is, this priest did not put the fragments in the church first and then transfer them to the cellar as said in the game, but kept it hidden in the cellar all the time!

Perhaps the cultist thought he was foolproof, but he apparently didn't know that Fang Zheng had already learned the location of the cellar from the game. After searching the church to no avail, he immediately left through the back door of the church and went to the adjacent cellar. This place is naturally locked, but now Fang Zheng doesn't care about these little things, thinking that those cultists and their leaders may appear at any time, he also raised his vigilance, directly cut open the cellar door with a sword, and then walked directly into the cellar.

The entire cellar didn't look much different from what it was in the game, and as Fang Zheng walked down the hallway to the center of the cellar, he quickly saw the hilt of his sword that was placed on the central platform with a soft glow.

This is the fragment of the Holy Sword! Luckily, it's still here!

Seeing this fragment, Fang Zheng's original hanging heart finally let go, he walked to the platform, and then carefully checked the surroundings, and after finding no traps, he reached out and took the hilt of the sword and put it in the pocket of his clothes. It was only at this moment that Fang Zheng finally felt at ease.

"Alright, it's all done, it's easier than you think, the next thing to do is to go back to Triszm ........."

"Whew!!"

However, before Fang Zheng's words were finished, suddenly, a light flashed behind the platform in front of him, and immediately after, Fang Zheng saw several guys wearing yellow robes and looking like cultists walking out of it. They couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng was also stunned for a moment when he saw this group of cultists who suddenly appeared. Then, he reacted immediately.

This group of cultists actually teleported here using a teleportation array!
